Breeding with Molecular Markers
Focus on strategies for using molecular tools in different breeding schemes and crops. Learn what technologies are currently available for different crops. Leading industry and university experts will guide you on how, when and what types of molecular markers should be used in breeding programs, including marker-assisted selection, accelerated backcrossing, and quantitative trait loci. This course is also an opportunity for breeders who are already using these tools to expand their knowledge of new strategies and technologies and for laboratory personnel to appreciate how the marker data that they generate are applied in breeding programs. Instructor(s): Allen VanDeynze Ph.D., is the biotechnology specialist for the Seed Biotechnology Center. He worked as a plant breeder for Calgene and was senior scientist for Celera AgGen and Paradigm Genetics where he developed and implemented strategies to incorporate biotechnology into breeding programs. His responsibilities are to develop, coordinate and conduct research, and to generate and disseminate scientific and informational content for the center's educational and outreach programs.
